Wreath Songs

 Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Colossians 3:16

 Words cannot express how happy I am with how my wreath turned out! It is GORGEOUS. Yes it is. 

There are many tutorials for book page wreaths out there but I was inspired by the one I found on Holy Hen House. It was this one in particular that used the pages of an old The Lutheran Hymnal (TLH) which I absolutely adored. 

 Truth be told, I felt a little sinful tearing the pages out of the binding. But I got over it. And before I knew it, I was singing away to all the old tunes with the thous and the thees and the thys. I also was rolling the pages while watching the LiveStream of Luther Prep's opening service. It was quite the experience. 

There's something about the smell of an old book that makes me giddy. And I love how the edges of the hymnal pages are red. 

We can never move now because this wreath would never make it intact. So I guess I will die in this house. 

O God, our Father, whose praise is in the Church, uplift our souls to the holiness of Thy presence that with pure hearts we may adore Thee and worship Thee with joyful lip; through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
